The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

Research in quantum information processing has followed two different directions: the use of
discrete variables (qubits) and that of high-dimensional, continuous-variable Gaussian …

The quantization of gravity is widely believed to result in gravitons–particles of discrete
energy that form gravitational waves. But their detection has so far been considered …

The magnon cat state represents a macroscopic quantum superposition of collective
magnetic excitations of large number spins that not only provides fundamental tests of …

Gaussian states have played an important role in the physics of continuous-variable
quantum systems. They are appealing for the experimental ease with which they can be …

In the last decade many important advances have taken place in the field of quantum optics,
with numerous potential applications. Ideal for graduate courses on quantum optics, this …

A few decades ago, quantum optics stood out as a new domain of physics by exhibiting
states of light with no classical equivalent. The first investigations concerned single photons …

The physics of intense laser–matter interactions, is described by treating the light pulses
classically, anticipating no need to access optical measurements beyond the classical limit …

This review covers the latest developments in continuous-variable quantum-state
tomography of optical fields and photons, placing a special emphasis on its practical aspects …

Strongly driven systems of emitters offer an attractive source of light over broad spectral
ranges up to the X-ray region. A key limitation of these systems is that the light they emit is …
